You can put your stock 18's up front and leave your 19's in the rear since the tire diameters for the 18's should be the same as the 19's were.

I would recommend SPC or Cusco front camber arms, which cost around $400 and Eibach rear camber arms, which cost about $145 and are made by SPC and come with toe bolts.

I got my toyo T1R's from www.td4l.com

He's a sponsor here on the boards...PM TD4L

I believe they ran $830ish for 4. You run the same setup as me.

I am still trying to figure out why you NEED a camber kit? Is your car lowered? If so, how (what product)?

I have an '05 AT, with custom wheels and tires (19x8.5/9.5 and 255fr/285rr), and have the TEIN 350z S springs. I do not need a camber kit. I have no uneven wear at all...

Every car is different. w0ady wore out his tires on stock suspension on his coupe and I wore out my tires on stock suspension on my sedan, which was within alignment specs.

Falken 452s. They seem to be fine for me. Unfortunately, the closest sizes are 255/30 and 275/30

Many times, the alignment people will use the specs from the factory, for the factory sized set up. Further, from what I have seen and read, a lot of shops only have specs for the 18" rim/tire sizes. In the age of computers, a lot of places are lost for plus sized applications or simply use the factory specs without advising the consumer of a potential issue...

But you are right, Sean, every car is a bit different...

Honestly, you should wait until you have the money and then head to a shop, buy the tires and have a good alignment. The shop SHOULD be able to tell you right then whether your car will NEED a camber kit or not, and how far out of whack your situation really is. If it does need a camber kit, you should go ahead and order it. Driving on the tires w/o it for a couple hundred miles won't be a big deal, but I wouldn't drive it needing a camber kit to Miami or some other far away place (creating tons of tire heat), or driving for more than a couple of weeks without it...

Just my opinion...
